Legacy of a Warrior (Mogtaki & Vena Sera IV)

[Vena Sera IV]

"Or you're smaller than me." Takeshi added in a matter of fact statement, continuing to set the table for the two of them. Nothing special, it was two teenaged boys who were hardly friends dining after all. Two glasses, one for each of them, a pitcher of water, the large roast set in the center of the table and a few loaves of bread set off to the side. It'd be a light dinner for them, the both could easily eat everthing here and more by themselves. He hadn't expected a roommate when the day started though, a trip to the supermarket was definitely in order soon. Taking his seat at the table, Takeshi began to eat hungrily, not caring for manners in his own house, certainly not in front of Shu, who as he was reminded, stored food in his clothing. "Eat up kid, this is it for tonight." he mumbled through a mouthful, not glancing up at him. The kid smelled a good deal better now that he had washed himself, thank goodness for that. He still wasn't sure where he would have the kid sleep, probably on the couch. His train of thought was derailed by a pattering sound on the window, glancing over he saw it had begun raining. "Well that's convenient..." he mumbled, glancing up at Shu with a smirk. "Looks like my yard will be cleaned up after all. You're not scared of a little thunder and lightning are you?"

Shu kept a hold of his trousers as he climbed onto his seat, staring at the food in front of him. Food was one of the best things ever, but judging by the fact that he was probably going to be staying here the night he wasn't going to store any food away, it'd just bug him when he slept. He was watching out with how much he was eating at once, he didn't want to end up stealing food that Takeshi wanted in his hunger fury by accident. He was taking Takeshi's threat for no more food tonight seriously, trying to stuff his face as much as he could before surrendering the rest to Takeshi by jumping off his seat. He was pretty happy, he didn't need tons of food to be happy. Licking his fingers in delight, he looked up at Takeshi before towards the window and back again, "Uhhh, not really...unless it hits me, then it hurts", he said slowly, trying to recall the last time he was out in the thundering rain, "If that's what you're wanting from me though, I'll sleep outside. I don't mind the rain..."

"No... I was thinking you could take the couch." Takeshi stated, smiling a bit as he took another bite of his food before throwing back a glass of water thirstily. He was surprised to see they had nearly finished all of the food already despite having just sat down. Figuring he had two plates already, he stood up and set his empty plate into the sink and paused in a soft yawn, stretching lazily. "There's a few spare blankets and pillows in the hall closet, first door on your right. Grab what you want and make yourself comfortable, I'm going to go shower." Waving a hand dismissively, he wanderd off to his bedroom, grabbing a change of clothing for himself before going into the bathroom himself, locking the door before stepping into the warm water. Shu would hopefully calm down a bit now that the day was coming to a close, maybe he could get a moment's rest. Closing his eyes he simply stood beneath the water, letting the water ease his muscles. Tomorrow, regardless of the weather, they'd head out to a not too distant plateau to practice Shu's blasts and perhaps the flying as well. The latter he seemed to have down well enough, but practice couldn't hurt.

Shu looked towards the couch before back at Takeshi, nodding quickly. He looked pretty happy again, it was nice to be able to sleep inside a house like this and have one to sleep in at all. He was pretty happy to have Takeshi showing off his hospitality when he could had left him out in the rain and wind , he had even fed and let him wash up. Running off to find these so-called pillows and blankets, he was going on quite a search around the house to find this infamous hall closet, but when he did he couldn't help but feel curious. The closet felt cool inside and the blankets and pillows looked enticing as they were. He didn't want to take up much space and there was nothing occupying the closet, so instead of taking the stuff to the couch he felt he could keep out of Takeshi's way by sticking himself in the closet. He cuddled up against the pillows and blanket, feeling extremely comfortable already despite where he was.

[Vena Sera IV]

Takeshi didn't take long washing up, emerging from the shower with just his pants on and a towel around his next, hair dried and left in the usual unruly mess it was. Before he went to bed he'd decided to check up on Shu, but was confused when he didn't see the boy on the couch. He couldn't help but smile when he found the younger boy curled up in the closet, kneeling down and flicking the tip of his nose playfully before pointing a thumb to the couch. "The couch is plenty safe to sleep on you know?" he asked coyly, an honest smile still on his face. Shaking his head a bit before sighing he stood up, looking down at Shu amused. "Sleep there if you want, your back might be sore in the morning though." He was confused as to why Shu settled on the closet floor over a perfectly good couch, but if it was what he wanted... Shrugging, Takeshi turned and walked down to the bedroom, pausing at the door and calling back. "Be ready to get up plenty early, I want to head out at dawn!" With that he tossed the towel onto the nearby armchair, flopping down onto the bed after turning off the lights. It had been an... Interesting day so far, and no doubt tomorrow would be just as much. For now though, sleep seemed like a good idea. Pulling the blanket up onto his frame, he closed his eyes and got ready for some much needed sleep.

[Mogtaki]

Shu had settled down all snuggly in his little corner, his eyes closed but that little moment of serenity was interrupted when Takeshi flicked his nose and prompty awoke him from his brief moment of rest. He stared at Takeshi for a moment, sussing out his situation before giving his back a rub. He didn't want to feel sore in the morning, that would be a bit of a disaster if he couldn't bend and stretch like he did throughout the day. Casually thinking about deciding upon the closet or the couch that he was on earlier, sure enough he gathered up the pillows and blanket and made a very brief walk over to the couch once Takeshi had gone. He was getting settled pretty quickly, clambering up onto the seat of the couch and spread all the comfy cushiony stuff around him before curling up in it, wrapping the blanket around himself. It was the first time he had been so comfortable ever, even if it was just a couch and not a real bed. He was happy, that much was evident on his face as he snuggled into his pillow, ready for that night's rest he so dearly needed after all that energy exertion.

By the time it was morning, Shu always had a habit of getting up at the crack of dawn due to the light shining in his eyes in the mornings, but this time he was quite well buried underneath the quilt. He wasn't sleeping, rather he was all disorientated by the fact that he was completely rolled up in a blanket without any real way to get out, only his tail seemed to know the way out and he wasn't going to ask it to know what way the outside world was. While he was really comfortable, the confusion he was feeling was that strange groggy disorientation that usually came with having little contact with the outside world beyond the woods and tiny hamlets.

[Vena Sera IV]

Takeshi had been up for a bit by the time Shu had begun to stir, already outside and getting his morning exercises in. Currently he was doing a bit of a one-handed handstand, his other arm tucked behind his back as he held the position for as long as he could. He was always determined to get up and train as soon as he could, not wanting to waste any daylight if he could help it. After a moment of holding that position he sprung back to his feet, wiping a bit of sweat from his brow with the back of his hand. No doubt the younger Saiyan would be up and about soon, which hopefully meant they'd be on their way to training. Until he came by though, training would continue as it had been. Taking a deep breath, he began to throw a flurry of punches and kicks, trying to keep his muscles loose and warmed up. It was far from a peaceful morning stretch, but to him this was a perfect way to begin the morning.
To anyone else it would be a beautiful morning. Cool and crips, the sun had barely peaked over the nearby trees, giving the sky an orange hue. Birds could be heard singing their songs off amongst the trees, aside from that however they enjoyed the peaceful serenity of being in the countryside. It was almost pituresque, or it would be if he could give a care about his surroundings. To him it was simply another morning to spend improving himself, come rain or shine he'd do so, a nice day like today hardly caught his attention. As he threw the strikes into the air, he couldn't help but wonder where his and Shu's relationship might go. To be honest with himself, though he had hated the boy initially he quite liked the idea of having a student of sorts. He wouldn't be exactly angry if this agreement of theirs lasted for a little while.

[Mogtaki]

Shu was pretty content with rolling around in his blanket on the couch all until he suddenly fell off and unravelled himself, looking around in an alerted fashion. He had a good night, dreaming about all sorts of stuff and things he wasn't even sure whether it made sense or not. Pulling the blanket away from the couch before throwing the blanket over it, feeling pretty satisfied with quilting the couch and making it look cosy. He was pretty satisfied and with that, he immediately began to cartwheel around to loosen up before running to the door and out the house only to jump onto the roof with one swift flip. He could always jump really high, it was a specialty of his and he was fairly precise while doing it. He was pretty happy, that much was evident with his constant bouncing around on the roof, but luckily he wasn't breaking it or looking like he was ready to slip. Despite only just getting up, he was full of energy and ready to start his day with the training routine they had planned the previous night.

[Vena Sera IV]

When Shu came outside finally Takeshi had stopped his sparring match with the air, watching the boy confused as he lept up onto the roof before rolling his eyes. "Right... Because that was necessary..." he mumbled, walking towards the house as he rolled a shoulder slowly, making sure nothing was sore before practice. When he got to the building he simply rose up into the air, hovering just a few feet from the rooftop as he folded his arms across his chest as he tended to, raising an eyebrow with a smirk. "We're going to skip breakfast today kid, time to get a move on. Remember how to fly?" he asked teasingy, floating backwards a bit. He really hoped he didn't have to carry Shu all the way, it would be rather annoying. Truthfully, he'd like to race the kid, eager to prove while Shu may be faster on the ground, he was positive the air was his domain, and he was eager to prove it. "Get up and let's get moving, I want to start early."

[Mogtaki]

Shu was having a little bit of fun balancing on the roof and bouncing around on it until Takeshi arrived, something that drained him of any enthusiasm of bouncing around anymore. Stopping all his fun and games, he stared at Takeshi curiously before the smile came back on his face and he bounced a little on his feet, "That's okay! Yesterday was the most I've eaten ever", he said quickly before he began to bounce on the roof again, "I was imagining flying! I've been training, kind of...not in real life, but in my head! Do you do that?" He didn't really bother waiting for an answer as he began to jump higher each time, ready and waiting for Takeshi to take off to where they were going. He was pretty excited and appeared to have more energy than he had yesterday, but whether he could fly like he could in his dreamland was probably something that would need to be seen rather than believed, "Where are we going anyway?"
